ShabdYog Satsang, Month of Awakening
17th April, 2019
Advait Bodhsthal, Greater Noida
Context:
बसत्र न पहिरै ॥
One who does not wear any clothes,
अहिनिसि कहरै ॥
Suffers night and day.
मोनि विगूता ॥
Through silence, he is ruined.
किउ जागै गुर बिनु सूता ॥
How can the sleeping one be awakened without the Guru?
पग उपेताणा ॥
One who goes barefoot
अपणा कीआ कमाणा ॥
Suffers by his own actions.
अलु मलु खाई सिरि छाई पाई ॥
One who eats filth and throws ashes on his head
मूरखि अंधै पति गवाई ॥
The blind fool loses his honor.
विणु नावै किछु थाइ न पाई ॥
Without the Name, nothing is of any use.
बलिहारी गुर आपणे दिउहाड़ी सद वार ॥
A hundred times a day, I am a sacrifice to my Guru;
जिनि माणस ते देवते कीए करत न लागी वार ॥
He made angels out of men, without delay.
~Asa di Vaar (Guru Granth Sahib)
What is the real meaning of sacrifice?
How can one be a sacrifice to the Guru?
Why Guru Nanak says "All your other methods are so foolish."?
